We no go gree - Super Eagles stars send strong message to Nigerians after Indomitable win

Nigeria's Super Eagles players are not ready to back down as they display unity and determination for future battles after the win over Cameroon.

The Super Eagles have unveiled a defiant rallying cry at the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON 2023, after a brilliant victory against Cameroon in the round of 16. 

Nigeria defeated the Indomitable Lions 2-0 to become the second team to book a place in the quarterfinals on Saturday night. 

Nigeria Super Eagles’ Message

Atalanta star Ademola Lookman was the star of the night as he netted an impressive brace to inspire the Super Eagles to a resounding victory against the hapless Lions.

The victory means the Super Eagles will now prepare for a date with Angola, who demolished Namibia in the first knockout round match, in the quarterfinals. 

With that encounter on their minds now, the Super Eagles players have set a resounding message to Nigerians, in a spirited and unified declaration, asserting that ‘we no go gree for anybody.”

Pulse Sports Nigeria can report that the message came from a video on TikTok, with fullback Ola Aina, Alex Iwobi and goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, making the declaration on behalf of the team.

Speaking further in the video, the Super Eagles players added; “We dey here, we no go gree for anybody, in Christ alone.”

Translating to "We will not agree for anybody" in Nigerian slang, the bold statement sends a clear signal - this Eagles squad will fight for the nation and not back down.

The powerful expression showcased the team’s unwavering unity, belief and determination as they brace themselves for upcoming challenges, with Nigeria looking to lift a first AFCON title in 10 years.
